How early curiosity paves the way for large discoveries... anecdotes interspersed with activities that challenge readers' scientific thinking. Children relate to their peers and Turn It Loose shows how famous people, as children, did the work of scientists. The book is an easy read, with "Brain Play" sections at the end of each brief bio. Science teachers and students alike will thrive on Brain Play--expanding or adapting, as necessary. Swanson finishes her book with "Wind Up," bulleted to-do lists for the scientist in everyone and a list of books, videos and Internet links. Highly recommended for upper elementary through middle school.

Fun, lighthearted romp through history... Swanson effortlessly ties in all the major approaches of science... also clearly demonstrates that one uses all of these methods in the course of normal life.--Tim Brennan"VOYA" (10/01/2004)
